Time-tested wisdom for mind, body, soul wellness, today.
Lifestyle + Preventative Healthcare
Why Ayurveda? Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda seeks to promote good health and prevent disease by maintaining balance, or symbiosis, in the mind, body, and soul.
Each person has a unique combination of three energy types or doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, which determine their physical and mental characteristics as well as their susceptibility to certain illnesses. Working through the lens of Ayurveda is individualized and aims to restore balance to the doshas.

Reiki Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing channeling life force energy to treat your physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual body. It enhances the immune system and accelerates the body’s innate healing ability. Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that can be used alongside conventional medical treatments to support the body's natural healing process.
It's like getting a hug from the universe, and who doesn't love a good hug?

Postpartum
Ysha Oakes beautifully captures the essence of postpartum care in her statement: “After birth, there’s a sacred window of time. A time for complete rejuvenation of a women’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn. The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years.”
This sentiment highlights the importance of honoring this special time as a period of healing and bonding, laying the foundation for the mother's long-term well-being.

Welcome to Leita Ayurveda + birthwork.
Leita Ayurveda comes from Leighton and Tatum, my daughters. They are the catalysts to my growth and healing, and now, the answering of a calling.
Synchronously, the name Leita (LEY-TAW) means “strong woman”. And I can’t wait to meet you.
Our practice agreement.
‘I’ cannot heal you. With humility, respect, and responsibility, through the wisdom of Ayurveda, may my ability to hold presence and space for you become a mirror reflection for you to see yourself. In compassion. In healing. In radical self-accountability.
